rallied or complimented him, and when he occasionally declined an invitation, given viva voce, by explaining that ho bad promised to escort Miss Tramlay somewhere that evening. If this explanation were made to a lady, as was usually the caso, a knowing smile. or at least a significant look, was almost sure to follow. It began to seem to Phil that tho faces of the young women of Now York said a great deal more than their tongues, and said it in away that could not be answered, which was quite annoying.

If he was to seem engagad, bo would prefer that appearances might not be deceitful. Again and again be was on the point of asking the quostiou which he little doubted would bo favorably answered, but he always restrained himself by tho reminder that he was only a clerk on a salary that could not rapport a wife, bred like Lucia, in New York, an that villa plots at Haynton Bay were not selling as rapidly as they should if he were to becomo well to do indeed, they scarcely were selling at all. Who could bo expected to becomo interested in building sites on the tea shore when even in the sheltered streets of tho city tho wind was piercing tho thickest overcoats? And who could propose to a girl while another niau, oven wero ho that stick Margw, was offering her numerous attentions, all of which she acceptedt—confound Marge and his money!

That Marge also was jealous was inevitable. Highly as ho valued himself, he knew womankind well enough to Imagino that a haudaotno young follow just past his majority might be more gratifying to the eyo, at least, than a man who had reached—well, who hod not mentioned his age sinco bo passed bis thirty-flfth birthday. He had in bis favor all tho prcstigo of a good record in society, of large acquaintance and aristocratic extraction, but he could not blind himself to tho fact that tho young women who wore most estimable did not greet him os effusively and confidentially as they did Phil. His hair was prov#iingly thin on tho top of his head, and farther back there was atolltalospot that resembled a tonsure ho could not quickly enter, like Phil, Into the spirit of some silly, innooont frolic, and although he insisted that bis horses wero as good as Phil's, bo could not bring himself to extending an invitation for a morning dash through tho park, as Phil did once or twice a week. So ho frequently said to himself, Confound tho country habit of early rising, which his rival bad evidently mastered.

As for Lucia, except for the fow happy hours she spent with Phil, and the rather more numerous hours dovoted to day dreams regarding her youthful swain, she was really miserable in her uncertain condition. Other girls were getting engaged, on shorter acquaintance, and ten times as many girls wero tormenting her with questions as to which of tho two was to bo the happy man. She devoutly wished that Phil would speak quickly, and finally, after along and serious consultation with" Margie, she determined to adopt toward Phil the tactics which only two or three mouths before she had tried on Margoi she would encourage bis rival. With Marge it bad had the unexpected effect of making her yield her heart to Pbii on tho other hand, it had perceptibly quickened Marge* interest in her would not a reversal of the factors have a corresponding result!

Sho bad but one fear, but that was growing intense. Agwa Dinon continued to bo fond of I'hil there was no other man to whom she ever saw Agues appear so cheerful and unconstrained. Could it bo that the heiress was playing a deep game for the prise that to Lucia seemed the only one hi view! She had seen wonderful successes made by girts as old as Agues, when they had any tncncQ- ns a reserve force, mid she trembled as sho thought of the possibilities.

"Thank you," said Lucia, with a grand air —for bo small a woman. "I thought it was about time for an apology,"

Miss Dinon looked sideways in amazement. "The subject of conversation must have been delightful," Lucia continued. "Indeed it was," said Agnes.

Lucia looked up quickly. Fortunately for Miss Dinon, the artificial light about them was dim. "Yon told mo once," said Lucia, collecting her strength for a grand effort, "that" "Yes?" "That—that" "You dear little thing," said Agnes, suddenly putting her arm about Lucia and pressing her closely as a mother might seize a bqby, "what wo were talking of was yon. Can't you understand, now, why I enjoyed Jtsomuchf"

There was a tremor and a convulsive movement within the older woman's arm. and Lucia seemed to be crying. "Darling little girl," murmured Agnes, kissing tho top of Lucia's head, "I ought to bo killed for teasing you, even for a moment, but how could you be jealous of me? Your lover has been a great deal more appreciative: bo has done me the honor to make me his confidante, and again I say it was delightful." "I'm awfully mean," sobbed Lucia. "Stop crying—at once," whispered Agnes. "How will your eyes look? Oh, Lu, what-a lucky girl you are!" "For crying/" said Lucia, after a little choke. "For having such a man to adore you. Why, he thinks no such woman over walked tho earth before. Ho worships the floor yon tread, tho air you breathe, tho rustle of your dress, tho bend of your little finger, the"

The list of adorablo qualities might have been prolonged had not a little arm suddenly encircled Miss Diaon's waist so tightly that further utterance was suspended. Then Lucia murmured: "The silly fellow! I'm not half good enough for him." "Do you really think soP1 "Indeed I do I do, really." "I'm so glad to hear you say so," said the older girl, "for, honestly, Lu, Mr. Hayn has so much head and heart that ho deserves the best woman alive." "It's such a comfort to bis told so," murmured the younger girl. "One would suppose you had doubted it and needed to bo assured," said Agnes, with a quizzical smile. "Oh, no! 'twosn't that," said Lucia, hurriedly. "How could you think of such a thing! But—Oh, Agnes, you can't understand, not having baon in love yourself."

Miss Dinon looked grave for an instant, but was quickly herself again, and replied, with a laugh, and a pinch bestowed upon tho tip of Lucia's little oar: "Truo true. What depths of ignorance wo poor old maids are-obliged to grope in!" "Now, Agnes!" pleaded Lucia. "You know* didn't mean to bo offensive. All I meant was that you—that 1— Oh, I think he's all goodness and sense and brightness and everything that's nice, but—and so, 1 mean, I like to bear about it from everybody. I want to hear him talked of all tho while and you won't think me silly for it, will you! Because bo really deserves* it, I dont believe there's his equal on tho faco of tho earth!" "I've heard other girls talk that way about their level's," said Agnes, "and I've been obliged to hopo their eyes might never be opened but about tho young man who is so fond of you I don't differ with you in tho least. He ought to marry the very best woman alive." "Dont say that, or I shall becomo jealous again. Ho ought to find some ono like you while Pm nothing In the world but a well meaning little goose." "The daughter of your parents can't be anything so dreadful, even if she tries and all young girls seem to iry, you know. But you really aren't going to be satisfied to marry Philip Hayn and be nothing but a plaything and a pretty little tease to him, aro you It's so easy to stop at that so many girls whom I know have ceased, to grow or improve in any way after marriage. They've been so anxious to be cunning little things that they've never become even women. It makes on© almost able to forgive the ancients for polygamy, to see"— "Agnes Dinon 1 How can you be so dreadful*" "To see wives go on year after year, persisting tn being as childish as before they were married, while their husbands aro acquiring better sense and taste every year."

Lucia was sober and silent for a moment: then sho said: "Do you know, Agnes—I wouldn't dare to say it to any other girl—do you know there aro times when Pm positively afraid of Phil! He dots know so much, And him delightful company—stop smiling iu that astonished way, you dear old hypocrite!—I mean I find him delightful company oven when he's talking to me about things 1 never was much interested in.

CHAPTER XXIIL

e. &

Like iron snd railroads, stocks also began to look up, and Mr. Marge devoted himself more closely than ever to the quotations which followed each other moment by mo incnt on the tape of the stock ticker. II seemed never safe for him to be out of hearing of the instrument, for figures changed so suddenly and unexpectedly shares in some solid old roads about which everybody knew everything remained at their old figures, while some concerns t,hat had only just been introduced In Wall street, and were as problematic as new acquaintances in general, figured largely in the daily reports of Stock Exchange transactions.

Mr. Marge remembered previous occasions of similar character during the first of them ho had been a "lamb," and was sheared eo closely and rudely that he afterward took great Interest iu tho shearing process, perhaps to improve and reform it. Ho was not at all misled by the operations on the street at tho period with which this story concerns itself ho knew that sobio of the new securities were selling for more than they were worth, that tho prices of others, and the great volume of transactions in them, were made wholly by brokers whose business it was to keep them beforo the people. Others, which seemed promising, could fulfill their hopes only on certain contingencies.

Yet Marge, cool and prudent though ho was, took no interest whatever in "securities" that deserved'their name ho devoted all his attention to such stocks as fluctuated wildly —stocks about which conflicting rumofs, both good and bad, came day by day, sometimes hour by hour. He did not hesitato to inform himself that ho was simply a gambler, at tho only gentlemanly game which the law did not make disreputable, and that tho place for his wits and money was among the stocks which most-Indulged in "quick turns," and to which the outside public—the great flock of lambs—would be most attracted.*

After a careful survey of the market,^an several chats, apparently by* chance, wi ieged authorities of the street., he determined to confine his operations to tae stock of "The Eastern and Western Consolidated Railway company," better known on the street and the stock tickers' tatjes as "E. & W." This stock had every feature that could make any alleged security attractive to operators, for there was a great deal of It, tlje company was formed by the consolidation, under the guise of leasing, of the property of several other companies, it was steadily picking up small feeders and incorporating them with the main line, it held somo land grants of possible value, and lastly, some of tho managers were so brilliant, daring and unscrupulous that startling changes in the quotations might occur at any time at very short notice. Could a gamhlor ask for a more promising game?

E. & W. scon began to justify Marge in hischoic^. For the first fow days after be ventured into it the stock crept up by fractions and points so that by selling out and promptly repurchasing Marge was able to double his investment, "on a margin," frcm his profits alone. A temporary break frightened bim a little, but on a rumor that the company was obtaining a lease of an important connecting link he borrowed enough money to buy more instead of selling, and as—for a wonder—tho rumor proved true, he "realized" enough to take a couple of hundred shares more. Success began to manifest itself in his countenance and his manner, and to his great satisfaction he once heard his name coupled with that of one of the prominent operators in tho stock.

His success had also the effect of' making his plans more expansive and aspiring. Should E. & W. go on as It was going, he must within half a year become quite well off—almost rich, in fact. Such being tbe case, might it not be a mistake for him to attach as much importance as he had done to tbe iron business and its possible effect upon the dower of Miss Tramlay! She was a charming girl, but money ought to marry money, and what would be a share of the forty or fifty thousand a year that Tramlay might make in a business which, after all, could have but the small margin of profit which active competition would allow? There were rich families toward whom daughters he had not previously dared to raise his eyes, for their beads would have demanded a fuller financial exhibit than he eared to make on the basis of the few thousands of dollars which ho had iovtsted in profitable tenera&nt house property. As a large holder of E. & W. his position would be different: for were not the beads of these various families operating Ui EL & W. themaelvrssf

Little by little be lessened his attentions to Lucia, and his visits to the house became falter. To Phil, who did not know thecaase, the result was quickly visible, and delightful as **tL Tbe only diaquieting effect was tha» Mm Tramlay's manner perceptlMf changwi to an undesirable degree.

Mamma seems to want to have him in the family." "Thank you for the if,'" Margie retorted, ^but don't care for a husband almost old enough to' be my grandfather, after being accustomed to seeing a real nice, handsome young man about tho house."

aHe

has money," said Lucia, "and that is what most girls are dying to marry. Papa says he is making a fortune if he is as deep ia the market as some folks say." "I hope he is," said Margie. "He ought to dave something besides a wooden face, and a bald bead, and the same set of speeches and manners for all occasions. What a splendid sphinx be would make, or an old-monument! Hay be he isn't quite antique enough, but for vivacity be isn't any mora reaiai'kable than a stone statue. Just think of what Phil has saved us from!"

And still E. & W. went up. The discovery of valuable mineral deposits on the line Of one of its branches sent the stock flying np several points in a single day, and soon afterward a diversion of smie large grain shipments fi-om a parallel line helped it still further. That the grain Was carried at a loss did not trouble any one—probably because only the directors knew it, aud it was not their business to make such facts public.. And with each rise of the stock Marge sold out, so as to have a larger margin with which to operate.

At the first of the year E. & W. declared & dividend so large, for a security that bail been far below par, that even prudent Investors began to crowd to the street and buy the stock to put into their safes. The effect of this was to send shares up so rapidly and steadily that Marge had difficulty in repurchasing at the price at which ho sold but bo did so well that more than six thousand shares now stood in his name on the books of his broker.

Six thousand shares represented about half a million dollars at tho price which El & W. commanded. Marge admitted to himself that it did not mean so much to him, for he bad not a single certificate in his pocket or anywhere else. But what ^rero stock certificates to a man who operated on a margin! They were good enough for widows aud orphans and other people incapable or unwilling to watch the market, and who were satisfied to draw annually whatever dividends might chance to be declared. To Marge the stock as it appeared on bis broker's books signified that he bad cleared nearly fifty thousand dollars on it within two months, and all this money was reinvested—on margin—in the same stock, with the probability of doubling itself every month, until E. & W. should go quite a way beyond par. Wero it to creep up only 5 per cent, a month—it had been doing more than twice as well—he could figure up a cool million of gain before the summer dullness should strike the market. Then he would sell out, run ovor to Europe and tako a rest he felt that he would bavo earned it by that time. T-,.

Of course there was no danger that E.& W. would go-down.- Smart, who, in the parlance of the street, was "taking care of it," had publicly said, again and again, that E. & W. would reach 150 beforo summer and, although Smart was one of the younger men In tho streat, bo had onglhoared two or three other things a tnauner which had made older operators open their eyes and check books. Smart's very name seemed to breed luck, Li* prophecies about other movements had been fulfilled, he evidently had his own fortune largely Invested lu E. & W„ so what more could any operator ask? Even now tho stock was hard to got Investors who wanted small quantities had generally to bid above the market quotations and even when a large block changed hands it depressed quotations only a fraction, which would be more than recovered within twenty-four hours. Marge's margin was largo enough to protect him against loss, even should a temporary panic striko the market and depress everything by sympathy indeed, some conservative Drokers told Marge that ho could safely carry tho stock on a much smaller margin.

Better men have had their heads turned by less success and forgotten not only tender sentiments but tender vows so it Is no wonder that, an his financial standing improved daily, Marge's Interest in Lucia weakened. The countryman might have her there was as good fish in the sea as that be had hoped to catch—not only as good, but a great deal better. He would not break old friendships,

ship was near enough relationship.

I won't attempt to describe the second look she gave me, but I think I shall remember that longer than the first. "I am in despair, madame!" I exclaimed. "absolutely in despair, but my motive was a good one, I aamre you. I thought you were going to miss the train, that you would catch cold, and I did not want you to catch cold. In fact, if you will pardon my saying so, you need not worry about your bags they are in safe hands—a baggageman—at the next station you will telegraph—I will telegraph —we will telegraph—they will be sent on immediately. Oh! you will surely have them, I swear, if I have to return to Tonnere myself to recover them." "Enough, sir," she said- "I know perfectly what to do." And she sank into her corner again, angrily twisting her

But alas! poor little woman, she had not thought about tb3 cold, mad she no longer had hear good, warm rags*- Before ten minutes were out she began to shiver.

"Don't disturb yourself about me, madame. Iam not delicate—and even* if I do take cold it \riJl only be the just reward of my unpardonable Cupidity." ''Say, ratlrcr, your haste, for op course, as you say, your motive was good but how could you have taken that other woman for mc?"

Beeanse she was so -pretty!" She smiled, the Ice was broken—the ice of conversation, I mean, for otherwise 1 was chattering' with the cold. But how soon I forgot the cold, tbe journey— everything. She was delicious, exquisite. :v,lorable, a clever mind, bright, gay, original. She was fond of traveling like myself—H!:e myself she had been in Italy, in Spain. She dreamed of going to Ejrypt just as I did. In literature, music, in everything in fact, the same tastes as mine. And then, only think, a hsxzt of mutual friends. She was intimate with the Saint Chaincs, with the Hnvonys, particularly with the MontVazins. And to think that I might have seen her twenty times at those houses, and that I had not noticed her. Where were my eyes—I should like to knowwhere wore rav eves?

She spoke i'reoly, pleasantly, with that distinguished simplicity which I always so much admire, with a little, a very little, southern accept—almost imperceptible, Hither a lisp—giving a little bird like sound to her voice. It was entranc-

n|nt,

although I did everything to keep

from showing it, heavens, how cold I was? At Dijon (2:20 p. m.) my right hand was seized with a cramp. We telegraphed to Tonnerre for the bags. At Macon (4:25 p. m.) the left foot went the same way. A dispatch from Tonnerre saying that the baggage would reach Marseilles the next day. At Lyon-Perrache (5:48 p. m.) my left hand became insensible. She forgot to claim her ooupelet. At Valence (9:59 p. m.) my right hand followed the example of the left. I learned she was a widow without incumbrances. My nose turned a bx-illiant purple. I was given to understand that she had never loved her first husband. At Marseilles, finally (five minutes after midnight), I sneezed three times violently. She handed me my rug and said, graciously, "Au revoir." "Au revoir!" I was in the seventh heaven!

I passed the night at the hotel at Noailles, a restless night, filled with thoughts of her. The next day when I awoke I hr.d the most terrific cold in the head that you could imagine. Did dare present myself at the Rorqbauds' in such a stiiie? Unfortunate, of course, but they lr.iew I was on a journey—they will have to take me as I am, and tomorrow I c.v:-U be cured in the sunshine of Nice!

But, my friend, what a surprise awaited me! That good fellow, Rombaud, had asked several friends to meet me, and among these friends was she, my traveling companion, my enchantress.

When I was presented to her an imperceptible smile fluttered over her lips. I bowed. "And Tonnerre?" I asked very low. "I have them," she replied in the same tone.

We went into luncheon. "What a cold you have, oIt$ fellow," said my friend Rombaud: "where the devil did you catch it? Traveling, perhaps." "Perhaps," Ireplied, "but I really don't regret it." No one understood this curious reply, of course, but my fair follow traveler cent me a tender and sympathetic glance from across the fragrant fumes of the magnificent ragout which adorned the table and I was content.

What more shall I say, my dear fellow? I did not go to Nice next day, and 1 am to be married in a fortnight!—Translated
